Just about to finish this excellent book on parenting. It avoids the pitfalls of the child centred approach — where kids feel untethered because they have no boundaries — and the authoritarian approach to parenting — where kids feel unheard, misunderstood and forced to fit in with the parents agenda. The writer argues that parents must have clear expectations and follow through with discipline but she says that must be done in the context of emotional connection with your child. The writer uses the acronym CALM as her approach to building emotional connection:

- Connect emotionally
- match the Affect of the child
- Listen to what he or she is really saying
- Mirror or reflect the emotion back to show true understanding

The book is a mixture of helpful theory and practical examples which show how to implement the model with your own kids.

It's not a christian parenting book, and I disagreed with a couple of things, but overall it's very helpful and has already changed our parenting and marriage (the CALM model can easily be used for any relationship) for the better. Highly encourage everyone to read it.
